She went on to add, "My mother’s like, ‘Oh, you’re already nursing your daughter, take this one too.’ And so I ended up nursing my brother and my daughter. Now that’s a mindf**k."
Julia compared her life to the world where wet nurses, a woman hired to nurse another woman's child, existed. She dubbed herself a "time traveler" saying, "If you want to understand the world I lived in, go back to the 1800s. That's it. I lived an 18th-century existence."
